To take it all to pieces before trying to put it back together.<\/p>\n<p>So we will combine the purity of physics, neuro-science and epigenetics, medicine and psychology with the poetry of Chinese theory and many years of teaching, study, and practice, and fuel it\u00a0 with a PASSION for survival , empowerment , and recovery!<\/p>\n<p>Translating into language that is accessible and understandable!<\/p>\n<p>*We will learn about the gross structure and working of the BRAIN, The most complex and powerful structure in the known universe &#8211;and the target organ of abuse.<\/p>\n<p>*We will show a fresh and exciting look at the wonders of that brain, and how our \u00a0 \u00a0 knowledge\u00a0 has evolved, the understanding of brain plasticity.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We will explain\u00a0 how that which has always been referred to as \u201cpsychological damage\u201d has in fact have\u00a0 it\u2019s roots in physical and permanent changes to the brain.<\/li>\n<li>We will examine the current understanding and \u201cmisunderstanding\u201d of the manifestations of abuse. How trivialising those\u00a0 effects is further abuse.<\/li>\n<li>We will consider conditions associated with childhood sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, paranoia, psychosis, self harming, addictions, Stockolm syndrome, guilt shame, suicide and current understanding of complex PTSD.<\/li>\n<li>We will demonstrate how\u00a0 \u201ctriggers\u201d , nightmares, flashbacks all work.<\/li>\n<li>We will look at the current research and damning evidence showing how the immune and metabolic systems are damaged and\u00a0 survivor\u2019s\u00a0 life expectancy\u00a0 can be shortened.<\/li>\n<li>How epigenetic changes created by abuse can be passed on to future generations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>Day TWO:<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So what about the GOOD news!<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>We believe it should be each individual survivor who is the primary focus.There is no doubt that being active in the global fight , and contributing to the elimination of childhood abuse, connecting with, and helping others can be beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>However,\u00a0 if survivors are in poor shape themselves, they will not be able to sustain that impetus. Personal recovery has to be the starting point, without that we can only have limited impact .<\/p>\n<p>So armed with our new understanding of the science of\u00a0 abuse damage, we can explore some useful interventions. Because that science in itself is no use unless we can utilise it to make changes!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Optimum brain health is crucial for everyone!<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We will keep the emphasis on optimum brain health and survivor empowerment to look at which part of the brain we need to \u201ctalk to\u201d and which we need to \u201cshut up\u201d!<\/li>\n<li>We will be able to cement the bridge between how someone feels to the biological reasons for those emotions.<\/li>\n<li>We will show which therapies are great and why some are not so great, and how to discriminate.<\/li>\n<li>We will see how timing is important, when some therapies used at the right time can be effective, but used at the wrong time are of no value at all.<\/li>\n<li>Why a \u201cThis will do\u201d attitude is dismissive and \u201cbetter than nothing\u201d is offensive!<\/li>\n<li>We are a multidisciplinary team and drawing on our various understanding we will explore some of the difficulties a survivor\u2019s recovery might encounter, and offer some simple and effective tools and tricks to help navigate their journey.<\/li>\n<li>With brain strengthening in mind, We will include self help tools\u00a0 specific diet ,\u00a0 \u00a0 nutrition,\u00a0 excercises, breathing, meditations etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We will introduce a <a href=\"http:\/\/battleoftheabusedbrain.website\/five-star-recovery\/\">\u201cFIVE STAR\u201d recovery programme<\/a> which we hope will provide many of the things the precious survivor- prize fighter\u00a0 will need to go from being a victim to a victor!\u00a0 From surviving to thriving!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day One: Before it is possible to \u201cmend \u201canything\u00a0 it is crucial to understand how&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/battleoftheabusedbrain.website\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/70"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/battleoftheabusedbrain.website\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/battleoftheabusedbrain.website\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/battleoftheabusedbrain.website\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/battleoftheabusedbrain.website\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/battleoftheabusedbrain.website\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/70\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/battleoftheabusedbrain.website\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
